Iran’s Intelligence Ministry vows to avenge martyred Leader’s blood

Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence has vowed to avenge the blood of the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, asserting that the wounded hearts of the Iranian people and freedom lovers worldwide will find no solace except through retribution against the perpetrators.

In a statement on Saturday, the ministry said the Iranian nation has been in mourning for over four months following the martyrdom of the Leader.

“The bloodthirsty American-Zionist enemy committed the greatest crime and terrorist conspiracy of contemporary history in this great tragedy,” the statement read.

“The wounded hearts of the brave Iranian people and freedom lovers worldwide will find no relief or solace except through avenging the perpetrators of this crime,” the ministry said, adding that “according to divine promise, this retribution and punishment will be realized.”

The statement emphasized that the Intelligence Ministry’s operatives, in honoring the martyred Leader and the other martyrs of his household, call on the martyr-loving Iranian nation to participate in the epic farewell ceremony for their martyred Imam.

They also reaffirmed their covenant with the Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei and the Iranian people to avenge the blood of the martyred Leader and the martyrs of the last two US-Israeli aggressions against Iran.
